Strap for Artelier Date 40 Stainless Steel / Silver / Bracelet

The lug width of this model is 21 millimetres. This is the distance measured between the internal spring bars that connect the case to the strap. This dimension allows you to mount high-quality artisanal and aftermarket straps without aesthetic or safety compromise.

For this elegant model we recommend vegetable-tanned leather straps (cognac, black, burgundy) for formal contexts, or FKM rubber with stainless steel deployante for sporting versatility. Synthetic silk NATO straps are ideal for varying seasonal aesthetics. Your choice depends on your daily wardrobe and intended usage.

The strap is replaced by gently removing the spring bars using a dedicated tool, pressing the small button positioned at the sides of the case. Once the bars are extracted from the original strap, insert them into the upper hole of the new 21mm strap, then reinsert the bar into the case. It is recommended to work on a soft surface to avoid scratches.

Yes, absolutely. The Oris Artelier 01 733 7670 4051-07 8 21 77 x is fully compatible with 21mm artisanal straps from any manufacturer. Always verify that the lug width is exactly 21mm and that the strap thickness does not exceed 5mm to ensure harmonious and functional aesthetic coupling.

The lifespan of a leather strap depends on the quality of the tanning, climate and usage. A quality vegetable-tanned leather resists 3-5 years of moderate daily use before showing signs of wear on the buckle or fold points. FKM rubber resists 5-7 years. Regular maintenance (cleaning, drying after moisture contact) significantly extends useful life.
